Effect of age, sex and pregnancy on serum lipid and lipoproteins of Ardabil region two humped camels

By studying lipid and lipoprotein concentrations changes in the pregnant camels, methods can be found to reduce fertility problems and enhance reproduction efficiency in the species Bactrian camels.
This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of age, sex and pregnancy on serum lipid and lipoproteins in two humped Camels.
blood samples were collected from the jugular veins of 20 healthy camels according to their age (4 years), sex and pregnancy. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), total lipid (TL), LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol were evaluated.
The concentrations of TG, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol in different age groups was significantly different (P Probably activation of sexual hormones during the puberty and hormonal interactions in the hypothalamus – pituitary - Gonadal axis (HPG) is the main reason for this phenomenon.
